Hi Cherries!!

Welcome to the weekend!! I slept in a bit this morning!! 
I have taken care of a couple things outside already, I need to do a few more winterizing things before it starts raining mid morning. 
I also need to get started on laundry I haven't started that yet ! Ooops! Usually one of the first things I start on sat morning! 
the pups had breakfast and followed me around the yard this morning and are already napping! Oh the life!! Lol

I tried to work on my black friday challenge layout last night, I really didn't like what I had started with so I guess I am starting over this morning! We will see where that takes me! So I do want to work on that today, hopefully I can get it completed ahead of the deadline!

What is the line up for your Saturday?

Good morning Happy Black Friday scrapping Susan. Today's plan is housework then a Celebration of Life service for a friend.  Need to pick up my scrap room. I decided to hold on Christmas trees last weekend but decided I will be putting the one up in my scrap room today or tomorrow. Lots of pink happiness 🩷 Have a great day everyone.

Hugs Kristin.

Good morning Susan and Kristin. I too slept in a bit too. So did DH and Jasmine and Shelby. Penny, however, who usually will sleep in, was already up and moving around. She greeted us when we turned on the light, wagging her tail. I don't think her age has hit her yet. LOL.

Like Susan, already got laundry started and fed the furbabies. Unloaded the dishwasher. Now I'm just enjoying my coffee while catching up on here for a bit. I'll make breakfast in a little while, then I need to tidy up my office. I've got quite a few papers that need filing (or at least sorted). I had one of those insanely busy weeks this week where I just Print and set things aside. I also need to clean up my scrap room. Last layout I created last weekend, I never put anything away. Even my trash/scraps. So that will need to be done before I can create.

DH and I will be out at my bio father's place for dinner tonight. So if I don't get any scrapping done today, I'll definetly be able to play tomorrow!

Have a great day everyone.

Many hugs for you! Enjoy the pink happiness in your scrappy room!! I love that! 
 

Good morning to you cherries!  I actually got up early (5:30) because I noticed my hubby was already up.  I thought it was Friday and he was getting ready for work.  Turns out his carpal tunnel was bothering his arm so he couldn't sleep so he got up and started the coffee.  We enjoyed early coffee together and now I'm getting ready to spend the day in my craft room.  Been being a slug on the computer all morning.  Oh the time I can waste surfing.

I envy the life of my cats sometimes they are spoiled, yes, but it must be nice to NOT have to worry about the adulting stuff like laundry and work!  
Restarting a project is ALWAYS allowed, Susan! Sometimes the second round brings greater results!  
I hope you have a most-awesome day!
 

Morning.  Weather is same here as all week except no rain showers yesterday at all.  Clouds and sun . Very typical Florida  although weather guy insists it’s warmer than usual for early November. 

no plans but keep track of grandkids today and our dance party tonight.  I’m jealous of all you who are going to spend time in your craft rooms.  Mine is still 2800 miles away from me across country! .  

have a super Saturday 

I'm a little chilled this morning, Cherries! Our temps have dropped slightly, which means they seem normal for this time of year LOL RIP the warm days!  

I had a great day at work yesterday - I stayed busy enough for it to go by pretty quickly, and JUST about every customer was pleasant! Days like that are a blessing! Went to Waffle House afterwards with Omer and that was nice. I had coffee there and we watched a movie and TV when we got home, and I played with the FHP challenge #2 some more! I haven't finished the LO yet, but I'm getting closer LOL! 
Anyone else have a field day looking through embellishments? I MEAN sometimes the possibilities seem endless, EVEN during specific challenges! I have a few things pulled for this LO, and today I'm gonna finish it!  
Oh, yes, I've done a little shopping, too! It's a good thing Black Friday ONLY comes once a year! I truly don't NEED MORE, but!  
Have a blessed day, Cherries!

Pink happiness sounds ABSOLUTELY lovely, Kristin! I'll send a prayer for you today, too!

Enjoy your family dinner! I hope you have a wonderful day, Brandy!

Oh, I DEFINITELY waste time surfing, too! Enjoy your crafty time, Birgit!
I will say a prayer for your DHs carpel tunnel! I KNOW how it can be!
Stay blessed!

I'm jealous of that Florida weather!  
Stay blessed!

It's very chilly here on the east coast too.  Sounds like you had a nice time out with Omer last night. 
Embellies...... you can never have enough!

The thing about embellies, dies, stencils, stamps, etc. is that we can never have enough BUT we also often don't have what we NEED!

Sue, I LOVE your layout!!!  The little skunks and the pawprints are perfect!  Oh that must have been horrible to clean Murphy up!!! 
 

It's been a bit of an odd day.  Started it off by sleeping in and was stiff and sore when I woke up.  No particular reason why...  I need to start doing some easy exercising soon!  Then I was having 2 conversations at once with my DD and a dear friend.  Loved that!!!  But it messed up my normal drink coffee, check out my online stuff and then fix something to eat for Steve and I.  So maybe that's why I feel so "off" today.  My PLAN was to do the Zoom crop with the CSM VIP group and do an online crop with a FB group.  I missed the CSM crop but the FB crop will continue tomorrow.  Now it's 4:30 PM and it's pitch black and I'm just getting things copied and ready to play and it's almost time for dinner.     So I'll probably at least start a layout tonight.  I only have the 2 sketches to do for the FHP challenges and I have a picture for one of them  So I will probably do that one tonight.  Hopefully I can really get into scrapping tomorrow!
